Easiest way to get ULS Logs in SharePoint 2013 (Developer Dashboard)

Developer Dashboard has been added with some cool features in SharePoint 2013. One of the features that caught my eye was the new ULS Logs feature. If you are a SharePoint developer and have ran around SharePoint Admin teams for ULS Logs here is a quick solution for you. You can get the ULS Logs right from the server for any page that you ran through in Developer Dashboard.

Prerequisites – You need to Activate Developer Dashboard using the following Stsadm command.

stsadm -o setproperty -pn developer-dashboard -pv on

Once you have turned ON the developer dashboard you can open it using a small icon next to “Focus on Content”

Once the Developer Dashboard is Open, refresh the SharePoint site page and it will appear in the developer dashboard.

Click on the “ULS Logs” tabs and you will see the fetching message..

Once its done the ULS tab will be displayed with the Logs from the server.
